I don’t think, the word “bloated” is clearly enough defined to have an argument over it. And this meme was merely insinuating that you need a lot of RAM to run a Hello World written in JavaScript, which is true, because its VM is a browser.
Also, I would generally call other interpreted languages “bloated”, too. I mean, Python is horrendously slow.
Even Java and the likes, which get compiled to “Byte Code” and then this Byte Code is interpreted by the JVM, is still a language which I consider “bloated”, unless it’s used for large-scale applications where the JVM overhead really doesn’t matter anymore.
Javascript is not the only, or even the first, interpreted language. Having a VM doesn’t mean a language is bloated
